I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't make that connection, but it was at like 1:30 this morning when I watched it. I wasn't sure who they were referring to.

There was a rumor that person might show up this season, and I'd say that all but confirms it.

These guys brought this shit on themselves.

Everyone knows that out of the billions of people on the net, there is a guaranteed % that are going to say the worst possible things. It's not nice, it's not cool, but it's a reality.

So when you flip unity assets to turn out complete shovelware and go after anyone who calls you on it, it's pretty understandable that there would be a over the top reaction...

Rule #1 is you never try and antagonize your customers. There is absolutely positively no way you've going to win that argument, as a business. You're just going to encourage more of it back at you.

So I kind of have a hard time feeling sorry for them, especially them now trying to play the sympathy card ("destroyed" "stomped into ground" etc). They brought that wrath on themselves, and instead of saying "look, we screwed up and approached this from the totally wrong direction" they doubled down and started lawsuits.

The sad part is it sounds like they've learned nothing from this experience.

Seriously, it's the place I found the goddamn video. I don't see how this is so hard to appreciate. When people ask "the owner" explains it every time.

It's just like all the Kotakus and Shacknewses of the world who have found "no legitimate reason" for mentioning that a game story they are reporting was spotted here over years and years. Content aggregators serve a role in the process, and I won't be someone who goes around ignoring that like 90% of the internet at 99.9% of gaming sites.

I want to get in, mess around and get out. I feel I would do the other MP players a disservice if I actually joined their server.

And sometimes I play with new players who may be even newer to the game than I, so an offline coop mode with bots filling the server is a great way to have a good time.

So are they out this time? Was hoping we might get some, but certainly wasn't holding my breath.

NetHead wrote on Sep 28, 2016, 15:48:I remember trying Wasteland 2 for a while and it was hammering the graphics card like crazy. No matter the settings or situation it would max out the core/heat/fan/noise.

Quite a few Unity based games around that time were doing that and never got around to trying the DC version because it would be far to annoying to play a whole game like that if it still does that.

That system shock demo had some setting I had to manually set in the nvida control panel...can't remember what it was now, and since it's unistalled, I don't find it there. Might have been the refresh? But without it, the fan ran like a leaf blower, even though the app itself claimed 60hz inside.

All textures are updated and it looks fantastic on the dolphin emulator (Recommended to use the Ishiiruka Build of dolphin, as it runs faster and has additional graphics/performance tweaking options)

Funny story about Wind Waker: My first playthrough of the game was in 2008 on the GameCube, and during that time the area that I live in had the largest flood ever recorded in this region. I'm now about halfway through my 2nd playthrough of the game and we are currently having the 2nd worst flood (so far) in this region's history. The nearby river just crested at 22ft today.

Mr. Tact wrote on Sep 27, 2016, 16:26:Oddly, this morning I watched an episode of "The Outer Limits" from 2000, "Decompression". In the episode Bruce Boxleitner plays a senator running for president. On a plane flight after winning a primary he is visited by "someone from the future". She appears as "projection", basically a 3-d hologram. She tells him she is there to save his life and tells him the plane has been damaged by a lightning strike. She tells him if he dies it creates an environment where "... a weak president does get elected, terrorism escalates, riots break out, the stage is set for a tyrant to emerge...".

LOL.

Tell me it was just a coincidence that episode was shown...

Kinda like how the original DX (2000) made some note about the Twin Towers falling...

They now offer ebooks, if that's your thing. Also, a 4th book is unlocked (Metal Gear Solid, if you increase your pledge to cover), and Would You Kindly pledge $700, so Bioshock is added as the 5th book ($140K)?
